Show NYA Youths Take Pilot Training at College Eight non-relief assignees to the National Youth Administration Resident project operated in conjunction con-junction with USAC are being trained ' as CAA civilian pilots. Word received today from William Wil-liam W. Skidmore, general supervisor super-visor of the NYA resident project listed the youth as Everard Francis Fran-cis Cox. J. Smith Johnson, Keith Terry and Marvin Floyd Murphy in the advanced CAA pilot training train-ing and Robert Grant Jordon and Jack B. Thompson in primary CAA pilot training. Two others, Frank- lin Widstoe Checketts of Bear River City and Melvyn F. Pulley of American Fork have just been assigned. The CAA pilot training course provides civilian pilots for important im-portant assignments such as patrolling pa-trolling defense industries or relieving re-lieving more experienced pilots for service with the armed forces. Both primary and advanced Instruction In-struction include solo and dual flying fly-ing plus ground school. Meterology, civilian air regulatons, theory of flight, airplane engine design, nav- igation are studies taken up bringing bring-ing the young pilot closer to his commercial pilot's license. Instruction Instruc-tion will be in charge of Prof. S. R. Stock, of the USAC Engineering Engi-neering department. Cost of instruction and textbooks text-books are paid by the Civil Aeronautics Aer-onautics administration. While assigned as-signed to the NYA resident center, the youth will work part time in production work closely allied to their CAA training. Mr. Skidmore stated that the NYA asignees will be paid enough to cover then-board then-board and lodging during training and a little toward expenses to enable them to complete the CAA pilot training course. Assignment to the resident center is not relief re-lief in any way but an important factor in aiding youth to receive defense training. |
